The fire in the wheat field was so big that many people from the two neighboring villages came after seeing the flames.
I’m afraid something might really happen during the New Year.
What's more, the two villages are almost adjacent to each other, and the fire at the city gate will affect everyone in the village.
Village Chief Zhao held the bucket in his hand and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know what happened, but luckily the fire is out. Uncle Zhao, it's nothing. Thank you for the trip."
Li Mingfu expressed his gratitude.
"It's okay, as long as the fire is out."
Because it was New Year's Eve, the villagers from the two villages left when they saw that nothing was wrong.
Liu Xiang cried loudly as she watched the straw hut burned to the point of nothing being left.
This time I wasn't pretending, I was crying from the heart.
I was completely unprepared and had no time to react when the entire shed caught on fire.
There was nothing left except the clothes on his back.
Fortunately, I sewed the only fifty or sixty yuan left in the house into my inner clothes, otherwise there would be no ashes left.
She is very careful when cooking at home, so the fire definitely wasn't caused by accident.
Someone must have set the fire on purpose.
"We have to call the police! Go to the Public Security Bureau! Someone must be up to something."
Li Goudan shouted.
Wu Liqiang was shocked when he heard this.
It would have been fine if no one saw it, but Hong Tao and Hong Bo saw it.
The child is very careless in what he says.
Don't tell everyone everything word for word when someone asks you.
When Wu Xiaobao heard the police's words, he burst into tears.
When Wu Liguo reached out to cover his mouth, it was too late.
The people around looked at him.
Li Goudan rushed over and pulled Wu Xiaobao over.
He said fiercely: "Tell me, was it you who set the fire?"
"No, it wasn't me."
"Don't tell the truth! If you don't, the police will take you away and put you in the Public Security Bureau."
"I didn't—mean to—"
After all, he is a child.
After being frightened by Li Goudan, he told everything.
Liu Xiang, who was howling, choked after hearing this.
She rushed over in disbelief and asked, "Xiaobao, why did you do this? Did your father teach you? I'm your mother, do you want me to die?"
"You are not my mother, you are Xiaowei's mother."
Wu Xiaobao pushed her out with force.
Wu Liqiang stopped him and said, "He was just lighting a firecracker and a spark flew out. It was a pure accident."
Li Goudan cursed, "I knew it was you. You must go to the Public Security Bureau. Is there any law?"
"no."
"no!"
Wu Liqiang and Liu Xiang said in unison.
What a big drama.
Li Mingqing, who was originally preparing to leave, did not leave and watched the fun with his fellow villagers.
I didn't expect such a dramatic thing to happen on New Year's Eve.
The most difficult person in this situation is Liu Xiang.
Wu Xiaobao and Li Xiaowei were her children who were born after ten months of hardship and pregnancy.
Li Goudan grabbed her collar and said fiercely, "What did you say? No! This little bastard wants to burn us to death. This is premeditated murder. He has such vicious thoughts at such a young age. What will happen when he grows up?"
"That's not the case. You heard it was an accident."
"What a surprise, Liu Xiang, when did you and Wu Liqiang hook up again?"
"Bullshit, Li Goudan, you're so heartless to say that. I don't care about any of my other sons for you, and you actually say that."
Liu Xiang scratched his face fiercely, leaving several bloody marks.
Li Goudan pushed her to the ground with force.
Fists landed on her one after another.
Li Xiangjun and Li Mingfu quickly grabbed him.
"Calm down. What's the point of making a fuss on New Year's Day? Just talk, don't hit people."
"The most important thing now is to find a place to live."
While everyone is here, I can lend a hand and rebuild a simple shed.
Li Goudan said, "Xiang Jun, let's go to the village headquarters and stay there for the night."
The village office is a small mud house with farm tools inside.
Very narrow.
It would be better to build a new tent than to sleep on the floor there.
No one has lived there for years, so the dust is very thick and there is some manure and fertilizer piled up there.
"You guys can do whatever you want. Actually, setting up a shed is quick. If we're going to the village office, we'll leave first."
"Let's go to the village office. I'll see who dares to set me on fire while living there. But I can't just let this go. Wu Liqiang must give me an explanation."
Wu Liqiang cursed, "Li Goudan, Xiaobao didn't do this. He said that because he was scared by you."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll give you two options. One is to go to the police station and claim attempted murder. The other is to pay compensation. I don't want more than a hundred yuan."
"What! One hundred! They're robbing money."
"Otherwise, you and your son will end up in jail."
Although Li Goudan said so, he didn't know if it was really as serious as going to jail.
But Wu Liqiang was really scared.
I was a little panicked after seeing him in prison.
Thinking back to the times when Li Mingqing sent people to the police station, those people were actually locked up.
You have to suffer a lot in there.
Otherwise, Zhang Tiezhu's stepmother, Mrs. Zhang, would not have become such a different person after she was released from prison.
From domineering and unreasonable to reasonable.
Li Goudan glanced at Liu Xiang.
She understood and said, "Liqiang, Xiaobao is young and can't go to jail. I know you can come up with a hundred dollars. For your son, just take out the money."
Wu Liqiang glared at Liu Xiang and Li Goudan with gritted teeth.
I cursed in my heart, why don’t I burn you to death.
"One hundred dollars is not a small amount. You have to give me a few days."
When Li Goudan heard his agreement, he didn't push him too hard. "Okay, I'll come to your house and get it in three days."
